NEW: The Ontario Progressive Conservative caucus was given the green light to book hotel rooms in downtown Toronto at the taxpayer’s expense whenever night sittings were scheduled, Global News has learned, despite Premier Doug Ford’s repeated public assertion that the expenses were “unacceptable.”

French firefighters have arrived in Canada to help fight wildfires in #Quebec. We are thankful for their assistance and solidarity as we continue to battle forest fires.
We've seen this film before. Trump attacks Ontario. Doug Ford tweets tough. But none of it answers the question Ontarians are actually asking: when does life get more affordable?
Ford's government has done nothing to fix the affordability crisis hitting every family in every corner of this province. Ontarians need results, not more bravado on social media.
MPP Hardeep Grewal billed taxpayers $27,000 for downtown Toronto hotels. Now we've learned he was also spending your tax dollars on ads in a newspaper owned by his own father.
Your money. His family's business.
Today I asked the Integrity Commissioner to investigate. If Grewal's family is profiting from public dollars, the people deserve to know.
Doug Ford sets the tone for his caucus. His MPPs fund their lifestyles with your money and keep his confidence. What else can you expect from a Premier who tried to buy himself a private jet on your dime?
Kelly: My husband, we were in Canada. He got sick. He was in the emergency room three days. His bill was $800 for three days. We could not do that in the USA, being in the emergency room three days and only $800.
Jennings: I think describing the Canadian system where people wait weeks and weeks or months and months and months for very basic health care procedures, you do not want that here. I promise you.
Video captures the moment that several Iranian medium to intermediate-range ballistic missiles struck Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan overnight, killing at least two and injuring several other American Servicemembers.
Stan Cho's resignation doesn't explain a single hotel bill.
He was living the suite life on your dime, got caught, and is now dodging accountability.
The refund is still owed. So are the answers.
And Former Minister Cho wasn't alone: Hardeep Grewal billed nearly $30,000, and Nina Tangri and Charmaine Williams billed tens of thousands more.
Do they still have the Premier's confidence?
Canada will not accept new applications this year for its parent and grandparent sponsorship program citing a backlog of 60,500 applications and efforts to reduce wait times
Premier Doug Ford on the defence.
Ford insists that the “party with the taxpayers dollars are over” despite several of his cabinet ministers being caught up in a $120,000 hotel expense scandal.

My heart is with the people of Collins, Whitesand, Armstrong and Lac des Mille Lacs, forced from their homes by fire. Thank you to the crews who are putting themselves in the way of danger to keep folks safe.
What is happening in Thunder Bay is terrifying and these extreme events are only becoming more common. The province must be steadfast in providing the residents and local officials with the supports and updates they need to stay safe.
I remember when getting a consensual blowjob was enough to warrant an impeachment. Now Presidents can pay out $5M+ to the victims they raped and no one fucking bats an eye
